Topic: 80% of ICOs are Scams - page 13. (Read 12238 times)
very right ... this is the biggest year of the scam ... where they are not responsible for what is done ... after they get investors they run away without thinking of the people who have supported the project ..
Yea many ICO's today really low quality or scam, hnce it's better to gain coins from doing bounty than to purchase it
I agree with you, a few times I followed and the ICO I attended was a scam, and I was very disappointed, lately there are so many ICOs who are scam, it is very difficult to distinguish a truly original ICO from an ICO, is there any suggestion for me, how do I find out about an ICO that is a scam with an original ICO?
Please help.!!
Please help.!!
i would even say it is more than 80%. currently, it is certainly 99% of this ico are scams and the associated bounties. finding a good bounty has become really hard, but not impossible.
Before investing in the company, I advise you to check the information about the company on different sites and forums. This will reduce your chances of investing in the ICO scam.
All of you correctly speak. Before investment it is necessary to study the project thoroughly. Look who with it directs who is advisers of the company. It is obligatory to study with the white paper.
So many scam ICO are being run almost on daily basis, it is now left for you to be able to decipher between genuine ICO and scam ICO. Genuine ones will surely have a good and true team behind it and it must have the foresight or available genuine product. Some ICOs fail, not because they are scam, but because they lack the necessary product to keep it alive.
I couldn’t agree on this. Some of the ICOs are not really scam but only failed to promote their project. Lack of promotion cannot make a project flourish.
I agree with you, there are lots of scam projects out there, but there are also projects who just fail to achieve their goals and fail to follow their plan according to some problems that occur on the way. But it's not fait to call them scam, because they try hard to succeed.
Most investors dont want to buy at the ico stage because they are afraid people will run away with their money, looking at the way this kind of things are happening.

I do not agree with such statistics. Much less Scam projects! How much I invested or made a bounty, all the tokens came to my balance.
The fact that tokens came to you does not mean that the project is not fraud, because these tokens are useless. I already have tokens of projects that turned out to be scammers.

It seems to me that the scam projects is less than 80%. Now a lot of projects that have not reached the soft cap. But there are also successful projects.
it's true that 2018 is a bad year for investors and bounty hunters, because so many icos was failed or worst, scam. but atleast not every icos was scam, we still got so many good ico out there

I've seen a lot of people asking about how many legit ICOs there are, so I thought I'd share
Quote from the article: "The study begins by breaking down ICOs into 6 groups: Scam, Failed, Gone Dead, Dwindling, Promising, Successful. “On the basis of the above classification,” they wrote, “we found that approximately 81% of ICO’s were Scams, ~6% Failed, ~5% had Gone Dead, and ~8% went on to trade on a exchange.”
"Scams were defined by researchers as “Any project that expressed availability of [an] ICO investment (through a website publishing, ANN thread, or social media posting with a contribution address), did not have/had no intention of fulfilling project development duties with the funds, and/or was deemed by the community (message boards, website or other online information) to be a scam.”

How many posts are these then, what to believe is how 80% of skam can? Ie out of 10 bounty companies 8 skam, according to my statistics is not so absolute, but the percentage of big scammers, but I do not think that 80%.

After such a long and bloody correction, All ICO scammers will be eliminated themselves, and now we will start from scratch on the turn. The strongest will survive.

you are absolutely right, now everyone has begun to understand, that there are too many scam projects among ICO, therefore, many investors have stopped investing in ICO, and this had a very bad impact on the cryptocurrency marketI've seen a lot of people asking about how many legit ICOs there are, so I thought I'd share

It hasn't had any impact on the cryptocurrency markets overall, if anything it reinforces the positions of the "good" coins from "bad" coins. Shitcoin launches should be neglected and not traded, enforcing the ideas that indviduals can create any coin to complement any industry, at any time, without repercussions for their investors.

Many scam projects. Many tokens disappear. They also scam. Trust only top-2) Ethereum and ... A lot of risk everywhere
It seems to me more than 90% of all ICO scams. There are no products, they just collect money and do not do anything, now we are just passing this way when all the scam projects will disappear. Remain single, which will give a very strong growth!
Yes, I think it is better to invest on the cryptocurrency market directly, it is less risky and has already been established, ICOs on the other hand are unestablished projects, not saying that you should avoid them completely, but you should definitely think carefully when investing in them.
